2, good used condition, 20.00 plus shipping.

Warning--shipping tends to be higher from here, if you're in the South/east Coast states, shipping's likely more than the tray . . .
 
yeah, all 81 +, sorry about that. I've seen a couple 73-80 in the past, just didn't need them so I didn't take them. Not many around.
 
I am definately interested. It the mounting brace included or is it the tray only?

I think you need 3-4 parts to make this work
-tray
-hold-down clamp
-brace

But I could be wrong?
 
I heard from an eBay seller that there was some change to the fender mid-80's that affects the battery tray compatibility. Maybe 81-84 are the same and then 85+ are different. Does anybody know this?

LMC Truck just shows this:

Do your trays look like any of the above?
 
Looks like their pass. tray is GM and the drivers tray is fabbed up differently somehow.

This tray looks like their passenger tray because it's OEM. Comes with the hold down clamp/block, and the way it's shaped it bolts to your fender and inner fender just like the factory one on the other side. It's the exact inverse of what you have in your truck already.

One is from an 81 and the other is from an 84, both are identical. Don't know about newer, but I've never heard of them being different.
 
For anybody else wondering, these guys on eBay say they have the mid 80's trays, just not listed in auctions (I'm not sure that makes sense, but whatever)

Hello, the auxilliary battery tray in this ad will not work for your truck. We have the auxilliary battery tray/support for a 1985 truck in stock. It is $57.56 plus shipping. If you need the two nut that are used to mount the tray, we have those also for $3.34 each. Let us know if you are interested. Thanks, Chris.

I assume this will work on an 87 Blazer? I looked the other day and the driverside fender has a dimple where the bolt would go to hold the tray so I assume it will. You have any pictures of them? I'm definately interested, just wanna see what im buying and make sure it'll work
 
Sorry I took so long to reply . . . Yes, they'll work on any of the 81-87-91 body style trucks. They're just factory trays out of trucks with 6.2 diesels.

Here's a couple pictures

Metal's all good and solid, rust is surface only and will clean right up with a wire brush or sandblasting.
 
I'll take one if you still have one.

Edit: Whats shipping to 33040 first?
